This discussion had me wondering whether "decommit" is even an actual word. So, I put it into google and the 5th article from the top has the headline "Tennessee has 3 recruits decommit within an hour." Thanks, Obama.

Matt Wilson, a prized member of The University of Tennessee's recruiting department who owned previous NFL front-office experience, has chosen to leave Rocky Top and reunite with former Vols' coaches in another college program.

Wilson, with Memphis ties and a family bond to the Pittsburgh Steelers, has agreed to take over recruiting efforts for Indiana University in a director of player personnel-type role.

Tennessee's assistant director of player personnel for several years under noted specialist Bob Welton, Wilson recently had been praised for his thankless and tireless efforts in the Vols' 2017 recruiting class and their work beyond for 2018 and '19 groups. He's turned down numerous offers due to his loyalty to UT, though he's long been regarded as a rising asset in college personnel departments.

I love Army cures.

I'm CLS qualified. Maybe needle decompression will clear up that crud!

Army cures are like taking placebos. The command thinks it works but it doesn't.

Wasn't sure where all it had made it to. Just know they have been shutting down schools here because of it. If you've had it, you know what I'm talking about then. Like someone sticking their hand inside your body and squeezing and twisting your insides as hard as they can.

Take some Motrin and drink water!

Yeah, maybe not. After I tore my PCL during a night combat jump at Fort Polk in '98, I took 800mg 3 times per day until 09 when the VA nephrologist told me I had chronic kidney disease. Might want to watch that motrin.

It stinks that they removed the IV portion of the CLS course. I loved sticking folks. Plus, an IV is a great hangover cure.

I seem to remember some anti-fungal drops that were the bomb, so maybe not all are useless.

They use to give out prescription strength Motrin like candy. Sounds like they still do. I came up with the fairly stupid idea of taking a small handful before a PT test to relax my thighs and abdomen before the run. Worked great...kinda. I didn't perform nearly as well, but far less pain doing so. In retrospect, probably wasn't worth the increased risk of bleeding from my eyes, but 21 year old privates are not known for great decision making.

I'm 35, and my privates still try to make bad decisions.

When did they do that? That was the only part that made it worthwhile. I let my training buddy do my IV first, so that I could take vengeance if it was needed :)

Goodness. I think my liver will probably fail before my kidneys. I don't drink as much as I used to and I still wonder how I survived my 20s.

I try to stay away from motrin. I self medicate with Bourbon when the body hurts too much (provided that I don't have to drive anywhere or have to be stone cold sober).

The Army doesn't like fixing us and they generally take the cheapest route. I joke about the Motrin but it is based in reality. For a sprained MCL, almost ruptured Achilles, and a broken toe; all they gave was Motrin for each separate event.

I don't remember the exact timeframe. I know I took CLS in the early 2000's and IV's were still part of the course. When we were preparing for mobilization in 2010, we were informed that the IV portion had been removed. They wanted the CLS to focus on immediate battlefield care like stopping bleeding and maintaining breathing. IV's are the realm of the platoon medic these days.
